BVU Students' Donation Will Buy Shoes for Needy Children

July 3, 2012

Student MOVE (Mobilizing Outreach and Volunteer Efforts), which coordinates student volunteer activities at Buena Vista University, recently presented a check for $425 to The Bridge, a local Christian outreach organization, with donations from two fundraising activities. One was the campus “A Day without Shoes” event held in April and the other was a project by Nathaniel Matya, assistant director of admissions at BVU, who ran in the BolderBoulder 10K run in Boulder, Colorado on Memorial Day dressed as the BVU mascot, Buford.
